< Genesis 8 >
1 Now God remembred Noah and euery beast, and all the cattell that was with him in the Arke: therefore God made a winde to passe vpon the earth, and the waters ceased.
神ノアおよび彼とともに方舟にある諸の生物と諸の家畜を眷念ひたまひて神乃ち風を地の上に吹しめたまひければ水減りたり
2 The fountaines also of the deepe and the windowes of heauen were stopped and the raine from heauen was restrained,
亦淵の源と天の戸閉塞りて天よりの雨止ぬ
3 And the waters returned from aboue the earth, going and returning: and after the ende of the hundreth and fiftieth day the waters abated.
是に於て水次第に地より退き百五十日を經てのち水減り
4 And in the seuenth moneth, in the seuenteenth day of the moneth, the Arke rested vpon the mountaines of Ararat.
方舟は七月に至り其月の十七日にアララテの山に止りぬ
5 And the waters were going and decreasing vntill the tenth moneth: in the tenth moneth, and in the first day of the moneth were the toppes of the mountaines seene.
水次第に減て十月に至りしが十月の月朔に山々の嶺現れたり
6 So after fourtie dayes, Noah opened the windowe of the Arke, which he had made,
四十日を經てのちノア其方舟に作りし窓を啓て
7 And sent forth a rauen, which went out going forth and returning, vntill the waters were dried vp vpon the earth.
鴉を放出ちけるが水の地に涸るまで往來しをれり
8 Againe he sent a doue from him, that he might see if the waters were diminished from off the earth.
彼地の面より水の減少しかを見んとて亦鴿を放出いだしけるが
9 But the doue found no rest for the sole of her foote: therefore she returned vnto him into the Arke (for the waters were vpon the whole earth) and he put forth his hand, and receiued her, and tooke her to him into the Arke.
鴿其足の跖を止べき處を得ずして彼に還りて方舟に至れり其は水全地の面にありたればなり彼乃ち其手を舒て之を執へ方舟の中におのれの所に接入たり
10 And he abode yet other seuen dayes, and againe he sent forth the doue out of the Arke.
尚又七日待て再び鴿を方舟より放出ちけるが
11 And the doue came to him in ye euening, and loe, in her mouth was an oliue leafe that she had pluckt: whereby Noah knewe that the waters were abated from off the earth.
鴿暮におよびて彼に還れり視よ其口に橄欖の若葉ありき是に於てノア地より水の減少しをしれり
12 Notwithstanding he wayted yet other seuen dayes, and sent forth the doue, which returned not againe vnto him any more.
尚又七日まちて鴿を放出ちけるが再び彼の所に歸らざりき
13 And in the sixe hundreth and one yeere, in the first day of the first moneth the waters were dryed vp from off the earth: and Noah remoued the couering of the Arke and looked, and beholde, the vpper part of the ground was drie.
六百一年の一月の月朔に水地に涸たりノア乃ち方舟の蓋を撤きて視しに視よ土の面は燥てありぬ
14 And in the second moneth, in the seuen and twentieth day of the moneth was the earth drie.
二月の二十七日に至りて地乾きたり
15 Then God spake to Noah, saying,
爰に神ノアに語りて言給はく
16 Goe forth of the Arke, thou and thy wife, and thy sonnes and thy sonnes wiues with thee.
汝および汝の妻と汝の子等と汝の子等の妻ともに方舟を出べし
17 Bring forth with thee euery beast that is with thee, of all flesh, both foule and cattell, and euery thing that creepeth and moueth vpon the earth, that they may breede abundantly in ye earth, and bring forth fruite and increase vpon ye earth.
汝とともにある諸の肉なる諸の生物諸の肉なる者即ち鳥家畜および地に匍ふ諸の昆蟲を率いでよ此等は地に饒く生育地の上に生且殖増すべし
18 So Noah came forth, and his sonnes, and his wife, and his sonnes wiues with him.
ノアと其子等と其妻および其子等の妻ともに出たり
19 Euery beast, euery creeping thing, and euery foule, all that moueth vpon the earth after their kindes went out of the Arke.
諸の獸諸の昆蟲および諸の鳥等凡そ地に動く者種類に從ひて方舟より出たり
20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and tooke of euery cleane beast, and of euery cleane foule, and offered burnt offerings vpon the altar.
ノア、ヱホバのために壇を築き諸の潔き獸と諸の潔き鳥を取て燔祭を壇の上に獻げたり
21 And the Lord smellled a sauour of rest, and the Lord said in his heart, I will hencefoorth curse the ground no more for mans cause: for the imagination of mans heart is euill, euen from his youth: neither will I smite any more all things liuing, as I haue done.
ヱホバ其馨き香を聞ぎたまひてヱホバ其意に謂たまひけるは我再び人の故に因て地を詛ふことをせじ其は人の心の圖維るところ其幼少時よりして惡かればなり又我曾て爲たる如く再び諸の生る物を撃ち滅さじ
22 Hereafter seede time and haruest, and colde and heate, and sommer and winter, and day and night shall not cease, so long as ye earth remaineth.
地のあらん限りは播種時、收穫時、寒熱夏冬および日と夜息ことあらじ
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
